COLEOPTERA.

Cnrnhns. E. Deyrolle publishes the names and short descriptions of the 
following species in the ‘Petites noiivelles Entomologiques,’ no. 2, July 15, 
18G9 : — C. rohustus, C, ponticiis, C. tMophilei^ and C. gilnichii. [These are the 
insects taken in the Pontic Alps, and mentioned in the preceding page. It 
IS stated by Deyrolle (1. c.) that more complete descriptions will appear in the 
annals of some Entomological Society ; but, if the names and characters now 
published be sufficient to substantiate the species, there would seem no 
necessity for further descriptions. If, on the other hand, they are not suffi- 
cient, why are they published ?]

Cychrides. 
Leconte (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 4th ser. iv. p. 372) adds some characters 
to Harris’s description of Cychrus angulatus, of which the type has disap- 
peared, but which has again been taken by Matthews.

nees). 
Pamhorides. 
Chaudoir (Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1869, p. 65) considers P. alter7ia7is and 
elongatus specifically identical, and also that P. 77io) billosus is a var. of the 
same insect. P. cun7iingha7ni (Casteln.) = (Gory), and viridis 
(Gory) is distinct from alte7'7ians, according to the same author.

Od(ont) acanthides. 
V. IIaroud (Col. Hefto, v. p. 112) defends the alteration of Odacantha to 
Odontneantha, and is manifestly correct in his reasons. 
Macrocent7-cij g. n., Chaudoir, Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1869, p. 206. Differs 
from Odontacantlia in its tarsi, which are rugulose above, furrowed on the 
middle and sides, and strongly pubescent benenth ; also in having the three 
basal joints of anterior tarsi of d squamulate, and the fourth joint of anterior 
and intermediate tarsi distinctly bilobed, and of posterior tarsi deeply emargi-
